As part of the Buddhism Cinema Season, we’ll screen Martin Scorsese's film Kundun. The film is set in 1937 and tells the story of a Tibetan boy who is elected by a group of monks to represent their people and become Dalai Lama, the highest figure of Buddhism in Tibet. The 2-year-old child is taken away from his family and taken to the Potala Palace to be educated and prepared to assume a political and spiritual leadership.
